Answer:
In psychology, the term ”self” refers to a subjective experience we have of who we are. It feels like a coherent entity, that is alive and changable, yet stays the same over time.
Using that definition, our physical self, is our subjective experience of our physical body, and by extension the narrative and identity we connect to it. Our physical body can change dramatically if we get pregnant, fall ill or lose a lot of weight, but we still experience it as our body, as our self.
Our physical self is our anchor in the world. Hunger, headache, butterflies in your stomach, fear, laughter, excitement, the ability to walk or run or climb a mountain. We are always using our bodies and we are always experiencing our lifes through a physical experience. We can experience our physical self as a healthy ally or have a more troubled and disconnected relationship to our body. It is our physical self that makes us experience our health, our capability to be active and take care of ourselves, and even our daily energy level. Our physical self, extends way beyond sexual experiences.
Our sexual self is connected to what arouses us. It has a physical dimension, since we experience sexual arousal in our bodies too, but not exclusively. Ever heard that phrase ”your biggest sex organ is between your ears”? Depending on who you are and how you work sexually, I would add ”and in your heart” too. Our sexual self is a complex experience of what physically, mentally and emotionally arouses us. Our physical self plays a part in that, but not necesarrily the main part. Our sexual self extends way beyond the physical body, into the emotional realm of longings, taboos and desires, and is a form of self expression
